There is a huge array of initiatives. At our recent joint policing committee meeting where we discussed all of this, we were not aware of the vast amount of what Tusla was doing because Tusla is not part of the joint policing committee and, therefore, it was not able to pick up on the hotspots and all of the other stuff, the incidents where our local park might have 30 or 40 kids gathering on a Friday night and how those children might be in danger. I have used my opportunity here at the committee to talk about policy issues and I appreciate the latitude the Chair has given me on that.
